SURVIVING THE APPLEWHITES

When Jake Stemple arrives at Wit’s End, the Applewhite family’s home school, little does he know that the experience will foster a deeply hidden passion in him. Each Applewhite family member--from patriarch Grandpa to E.D., Jake’s counterpart, to 4-year-old Destiny--sparkles with individuality and offers Jake a new lens through which to look at the world. Robert Sean Leonard misses not a beat as he rolls along with this free-flowing family. Even as the crises reach a crescendo, Leonard’s characterizations add dimension to the production.
